Authorities say a man stabbed and
injured a woman and two young children inside their Jersey City apartment
before killing himself with the knife.
Police responded to the apartment Monday
shortly after 7 a.m. and found the 54-year-old man with a knife wound to his
throat.
He was pronounced dead a short time
later.
According to police, a 29-year-old
woman and 7-year-old boy both had puncture wounds to the neck, while a
2-year-old girl suffered a neck laceration. All three were treated at a
hospital, and their injuries are not considered life-threatening.
A motive for the attack has not been
disclosed.
